| Good $1K amp with records? Threshold SA3 is a bit less expensive than the Krell KSA50; I prefer Threshold and this is a good one. A Bryston 3b or 4b is also an excellent amplifier and there are always a few for sale; get one with warranty so you know it is no more than 20 y... | |
| Help on some under $2500 speakers used galante rhapsody for about 1200..lovely looking and lovely sounding and very efficient at 8 ohms/96db resistance | |
| Rega RB250 Versions? Whichever version uses a continuous run of wire from the cartridge clips to the RCA termination. Audio Note offers a rewired RB250 called the ARM1. The ARM2 is a rb300 with pure silver wire. The Audio Note versions are wired at Rega with wire supp... | |
| Super Scoutmaster or Teres? There is more than one model. I think he calls it the CM1 . Yes, the wooden one is exorbitantly priced and I'd go for a Schroder before that mostly for resale value. The other one can be had in a standard arm or a 12" arm and Carlos will set the a... | |
| Rega RB-300 Counterweight Use the Michell Technoweight; works great on the rb300 with Audio Note silver wiring. | |
| Just starting out. Used Threshold SA3 (my choice; pure class A with plenty of power into low resistances), S/200, or S/250. A Krell KSA50 is another class A amp similiar to the SA3 but sells for a bit more; both are good.Used PS Audio various models; 100, 200, HCA2,... | |
| better ears than budget, so i would like to think Sophia Baby tube amp is very nice sounding; used at 450. A pair of Omega single driver speakers and a nice used Sony DVP-S7000 DVD player which makes a good CD player (and even better transport; yes, you should buy a good used DAC eventually). The... | |
| best cartridge for MMF-7, stock tonearm,below1000 Radiob:Do not overlook the excellent value represented by a new Scheu Premier II table. I was quoted 2200 landed for a Premier II with Scheu 12" classic unipivot arm mounted INCLUDING shipping to California from Germany. A real deal; performance u... | |
| Super Scoutmaster or Teres? You contact Scheu directly. That was the price I was quoted a couple of months back and was surprised; maybe they made a conversion error as that included shipping, too, which must cost a bit from Germany to California for a 70 lb table. Contact C... | |
| Help me find a Simple Hi End Turntable If you do try to set it up yourself remember that the wires to the cartridge are extremely fragile and it is very easy to pull a wire out of the arm tube as well as to pull off a little metal clamp that attaches to the cartridge. The fact that man... | |
| Full Function preamp Used Audible Illusions Modulus 3A...great tubed phono stage, optional John Curl moving coil board, all triode design and dedicated power supply. I replaced an Audio Note preamplifier with this and have never looked back. My other choice (would pre... | |
| If you had $500 to spend, how would you spend it? Considering one of those 299 buck lateral tracking arms advertised on audiogon....seems rather inexpensive for a lateral arm with an air pump......the fact I managed to screw up one of the wires to the cartridge opens a window of opportunity for a... | |
| Amplification Recommendations Please Audio Research models for a grand or less present a good choice; ie, SP6, sp8. Used Kora Eclipse which has a remote is supposedly a good option and less than 1500 used I've seen. There is a used Art Audio w/phono for 995 firm; well, there was a fe... | |
| Anyone think direct tv music channels sound good? DirectTV ....listen to jazz station all the time....sounds a bit better using the coax output from the directv receiver to the audio note dac but sounds fine via analogue outputs direct to preamp...which allows me to use directv remote control as ... | |
